How’s an extra check sound?

Legislation was approved to provide eligible PERF retirees (or survivor or beneficiary of the member) with a 13th check. Members will receive the 13th check by Oct. 1, 2013.

The member, who retired or was disabled on or before Dec. 1, 2012, must be entitled to receive a monthly benefit on July 1, 2013. The amount of the 13th check is as follows:

At least five years, but less than 10 years (disability)

$150

At least 10 years, but less than 20 years

$275

At least 20 years, but less than 30 years

$375

At least 30 years

$450

Guaranteed fund rate reduced to 0.26 percent

Members who invest ASA funds in the Guaranteed Fund will earn an annual return of 0.26 percent beginning July 1, 2013. The rate is set annually by the INPRS Board of Trustees.

When can I expect my benefits?

Want to know when to expect your pension payments? For PERF members, monthly benefits are paid on the 15th of the month. Click here for a 2013 schedule and information on how payment dates are affected if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday.

Still getting benefit payments via paper check? Consider switching to direct deposit – a safer, more dependable way to receive your monthly benefits. Sign up for direct deposit here, or call us at (888) 526-1687 with questions.
